👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the “Egg Bread”

1. Whisk eggs, cream, and salt in a bowl.

2. Heat a medium pan with 1 tbsp butter on medium-low.

3. Pour in half the egg mix — cook like a thin omelet until set, flip gently.
   → This is your bottom layer.

4. Repeat with the rest of the egg mixture to make the top layer.

You now have two egg sheets that act like bread slices.

2️⃣ Build the Sandwich

1. Place the first egg “bread” back in the pan.

2. Add:

   • 2 slices cheese

   • ham/meat

   • bacon

   • 2 more slices cheese on top

3. Cover with the second egg “bread.”

The double cheese acts like glue and gives the melty Monte Cristo effect.

3️⃣ Fry & Melt

1. Add more butter to the pan if needed.

2. Cook 3–4 minutes per side on low heat until:

   • outside is golden

   • cheese is fully melted inside

Press with a spatula while cooking to help it stick like a real sandwich.

🍽 Serve

Slice diagonally like a classic Monte Cristo.

📌 Tip for “French Toast” texture

(only if you allow flavoring)

• add pinch cinnamon + vanilla to egg batter

• then dust with sweetener after frying
  → tastes shockingly close to the real Monte Cristo
